About Gulliver’s Travels

Lemuel Gulliver always dreamed of travelling the world. But when a violent storm claims his ship and casts him adrift among uncharted lands, he is taken to places that he could not even dream of.

Travelling to the nation of Lilliput, where the inhabitants measure just centimetres tall, and to Brobdingnag, where they tower into the sky like giants, Gulliver voyages to an island floating above the clouds, visits a race of immortals, and finds himself stranded in a land ruled by horses.

Face to face with warring armies and power-hungry kings, each new journey makes Gulliver more desperate to find a way back home. But once he discovers the truth about his own land and himself, returning home becomes the last thing he desires.

Written by world-renowned satirist Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels is one of the most gripping and poignant adventures ever told.

An immediate success on its publication in 1726, GULLIVER’S TRAVELS was read, as John Gay put it, "from the cabinet council to the nursery." Dean Swift’s great satire is presented here in its unexpurgated entirety.

About Gulliver’s Travels

‘It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery,’ remarked Alexander Pope when Gulliver’s Travels was published in 1726. One of the unique books of world literature, Swift’s masterful satire describes the astonishing voyages of one Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon, to surreal kingdoms inhabited by miniature people and giants, quack philosophers and scientists, horses endowed with reason and men who behave like beasts. Written with great wit and invention, Gulliver’s Travels is a savage parody on man and his institutions that has captivated readers for nearly three centuries.

As bestselling author and critic Allan Bloom observed: ‘Gulliver’s Travels is an amazing rhetorical achievement. Swift had not only the judgment with which to arrive at a reasoned view of the world but the fancy by means of which he could re-create that world in a form which teaches where argument fails and which satisfies all while misleading none.’

Praise

“I highly recommend Campfire’s comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in a way that excites kids about classic literature.”
